Cedar Rapids Gazette: Amid a chorus of opposition from neighbors, Cedar Rapids Mayor Brad Hart has vowed more public input will be heard before any official action is taken on Cargill’s proposal to create a 10-track rail yard capable of holding 200 train cars in the Rompot neighborhood south of downtown. Cargill is seeking to purchase public land for a $6.5 million switching and storage yard, which would be close to its corn milling plant on Otis Road S.E. and create cost savings, the agricultural giant has said.
